Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Patient Experience Research

Background:

  • Low adherence rates for screening colonoscopy persist.
  • Limited data exist on patient preferences for sedation during colonoscopy.
  • Understanding patient values is crucial for improving colonoscopy adherence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate pre-procedure patient values and preferences regarding sedation use during colonoscopy.
  • To identify key patient desires influencing sedation choices for this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Administered questionnaires to 210 outpatients undergoing colonoscopy.
  • Utilized an unscaled visual analog scale to assess patient valuation of sedation-related statements.

Main Results:

  • Patients highly valued pain avoidance (mean score 82) and uninterrupted sleep during the procedure (mean score 71).

  • Prompt post-procedure alertness was also a significant preference (mean score 65).
  • A minority preferred unsedated colonoscopy, predominantly men with advanced degrees.

    • Conclusions:

    • American patients prioritize pain-free experiences and efficient recovery during colonoscopy.
    • Sedation preferences vary, with a small segment of educated men favoring unsedated procedures.
    • Addressing patient values regarding sedation can potentially enhance colonoscopy adherence.
